I don't care about the space. I don't need the visibility of the music. I have over 15k songs in my library. I currently sync songs to my phone via a playlist for iPhone that's tapers it down to songs I'd actually listen to.

So instead of shuffling through a specific genre of 400 songs I want to hear, it's now shuffling through 1000+ songs in that genre that I don't care about.

I'm just gonna cancel Apple Music since I need to use the iCloud music library to save songs for offline use.
Those same playlist are on your iTunes library on your phone right?
 
iCloud music library uploads your entire iTunes library. You can't manually choose what gets uploaded. I'm asking if there is a way to choose what music is synced with my devices from the iCloud music library since you can't manually manage that via iTunes.


I don't think so. It's not saved on the phone taking up any space.

In iTunes click the box beside the song and if unchecked it shouldn't be synced.

Do you just hoard songs whether or not you like them? Every song in my library is a song that I like.

Having similar issues. If I'm more than 10 feet away from my phone the audio starts to crackle and cut out. Used these same Bluetooth headphones on my 5c for years and I easily had 30+ foot radius. I'd keep my phone in my locker and walk around my gym no problem. With this feels like I gotta keep my phone on me at all times.
So weird, I had no issues with my iphone 6+ in the car. Think I'm going to go to the apple store and get it checked out.
 
i'm also having issues with bluetooth power beats cutting out with phone in pocket. we need another ios 10 patch

the "for iPhone" playlist? Yes it's still there, but so is my entire library.

I'll try the checking again. No I don't. I have complete albums in my library in addition to singles or loosies. The "for iPhone" playlist was made to sync only songs I would listen to or listen to frequently.
 
I did some more research online and it looks like people just end up creating a separate iTunes library with just the songs they want in their iCloud music library.

Not worth the hassle of maintaining two separate iTunes libraries if I'm still adding physical music so I'm just gonna cancel the service.
 
A bunch of songs my girl downloaded onto my iTunes got synced over to my stuff for Apple Music [emoji]128529[/emoji]
 
Verizon got some good customer service. So, on Thursday, I called back the customer service in regards possibly expediting my order since they sent me the wrong phone on Wednesday. So, the representative filled out a paper called "Jump the line" since they sent me the wrong phone. I thought I would have to wait until 11/30, but with him putting me on "Jump the line", I got an email saying that my phone(Jet black 7 plus) is shipped and will be here on Wednesday! I still don't understand how they sent me the wrong phone.
 
Iphone 7 has the worse battery life ever. According this article,


View media item 2186886

Renowned for testing household products spanning washing machines, digital cameras and mobile devices, Which? magazine of the United Kingdom recently compared the battery life of today’s popular smartphones. The Consumers’ Association-owned publication chose to pit the iPhone 7 against the Samsung Galaxy S7, HTC 10 and LG 5. The results were “staggering,” the magazine proclaimed. More specifically: “Whilst the iPhone 7’s 712 minutes of call time (nearly 12 hours) may sound acceptable, the rival Samsung Galaxy S7 lasted twice as long – and it doesn’t even have the longest lasting battery. The HTC 10 lasted an incredible 1,859 minutes (that’s almost 31 hours).”

Despite the minor difference in Internet browsing times, the iPhone 7 still came in last against its rivals: “The 615 minutes of battery life offered by the iPhone 7 is 25 minutes less than its nearest rival, the LG G5, and 175 minutes less than the top performing HTC 10. In fact, the HTC 10’s 3G internet browsing time was even longer than the iPhone 7’s 3G call time. It doesn’t make for pretty reading for Apple.”

Which? blames the iPhone 7′s structure for the low battery life, saying that its 4.7-inch battery cell is smaller than its rivals that have a 5.1-5.3-inch case for their batteries. As a result, the Apple device has just 1,960 milliampere hours compared to the HTC 10′s 3,000mAh battery. It’s important to mention that the iPhone 7 and not the iPhone 7 Plus was analyzed in the test—the plus houses a 2,900 mAh battery with a 5.5-inch cell.

Take a look a the detailed infographic below and let us know your thoughts.

Damn famb I'm glad they're making good on your order.

Customer service listened to my experience and pretty much told me there's nothing they can do.
 
Nah, I'm skipping like it keep going in and out.
same. my 7 plus randomly works and doesnt work with Chevy My Link

no skipping but it connects and disconnects on its own over and over sometimes. other times it works perfectly all the time

so random
 
Just ordered a 7+ from tmobile today, should take about a month to get in. Hopefully sooner, my galaxy running out of battery at a disgusting rate right now

Also I copped a 32gb, is that memory not enough?

It really depends on what kind of user you are, but for most people out there I'd say the 32GB will be just fine. If you're the kind of person that records 4k vids all day and has a crazy music library then might want to get a 128

Ok cool. I do not have a music library and music/videos I view on YouTube. Only thing I do is take pics on my phone which takes up the most space I'm guessing
 
Base mode 32 GB+$0.99 50 GB iCloud storage + Spotify premium + unlimited data from T Mobile = :hat :hat :hat
